Open Files, databases

[morpheus4711]

Hi,

i only wanted to ask you about backing up open files like database ;(SQL , Pervasive...)

We are using here VMWare Image Backup. I read about the open files, that this should work,but nothing about databases.

Does it work, can i backup them while they are in use?

best regards and thanks for your answer

You can use a backup product with VSS support.

Or use VCB with quiescence script.

Hi,

VMWare Image backup is using VSS, so in this case exchange, sql database can be backuped with it.

thanks

Hi Morpheous,

Does this means if theVM is Windows Vm with VMWare tools installed, those vss-aware application can be backed up without having agent specific installed on each VM ?

Kind Regards,
